Option 1. Convert Sony FAT32 to NTFS File System without Data Loss
Most of the Sony SD cards and USB drives are preformatted with FAT32. But for some other purposes, customers need to convert FAT to NTFS file system. Use EaseUS manager software, you'll lose nothing at all on the drive.
Step 1: Install and launch EaseUS Partition Master on your computer.

Step 3: Click "OK" on the pop-up dialog box to continue.
Step 4: Go to the upper left corner, click the "Execute 1 Operation" button and you will see the operation details. Click "Apply" and "Finish" when the process completes.
Option 2. Format Sony drive partition by erasing all data on it
- Warning
- This operation will erase all data on the Sony storage drive, so make sure that you've backed up the very important data before the operations.
Step 1: Run EaseUS Partition Master, right-click the hard drive partition you intend to format and choose "Format".
Step 2: In the new window, set the Partition label, File system (NTFS/FAT32/EXT2/EXT3), and Cluster size for the partition to be formatted, then click "OK".
Step 3: Then you will see a warning window, click "OK" in it to continue.
Step 4: Click the "Execute Operation" button in the top-left corner to review the changes, then click "Apply" to start formatting the partition on your hard drive.
Smaller cluster size makes less wasting of disk space. The smaller cluster size is, the bigger file allocation table (FAT) will be. The bigger the FAT is, the slower the operating system works with the disk.
